Race Report: SRAM Tour of the Gila - stage 4: Downtown Criterium

Yesterday's stage was the downtown crit in downtown Silver City. The course was set up like a traditional 4 corner crit and had a few add-ons to make it a little more interesting. The most substantial of these was the climb on the back stretch. It was actually quite steep and on a few of the slower laps I was tempted to drop to the small ring in front to get over it (I was running an 11-23).

The race was pretty uneventful and I just sat in and finish with the group to rest up for today. There was a pretty high-speed crash that I narrowly missed with about 5 laps to go but I sneaked by and finished at +0:00 for the day.

After the race was over Graham and I hung around town and ate and watched the pros race.
